We've been looking for ways to change the channel on our news coverage, offering more than just a steady stream of #coronavirus content.

Right now, much of that 'other' content comes from other breaking news bits.

Prior to COVID-19, we began a project #yyc #yeg

to profile #Calgary startups.

I wanted to talk about what Calgary's next economy was going to look like. I was fortunate to latch on to a new group of entrepreneurs going through @PlatformCalgary's Junction program, which helps get them business and investor ready.

After some thought, and time to digest the constant COVID-19 change we're going through right, I thought now was a good time to start talking about what's next...

... what's next for Calgary's economy.

We will emerge from this, stronger and better...

... as we so often do in this city, both socially and economically.

These 13 profiles over the next six weeks just scratch the surface of stories of innovative, energetic, talented, passionate people steering our city into its next phase of economic prosperity.

So - with that, our first profile is on a group (appropriately) addressing a big need in the healthcare system.

Breaking down the language barrier between patient and doctor. Check out Inuka Inc.

We'll have a new profile every Tuesday and Thursday on everything from sneakers to the IOT - literally everything in between.

You can find the profile in the 'Calgary's Next Economy' on our home page.

It's time to find out what comes after all this. #yyc #yeg
